  • View and Modify
    : Default behavior.
  • View
    : Applies to in progress or completed reviews.
  • View Only on Completed Review
    : The employee can't view the section until the review is completed. If you configure all review sections with this option, Workday hides the entire review from the employee until it's completed.
  • Hide
    : Always hide the section from the employee. If you configure all sections in the review with this option, Workday hides the entire review from the employee.
    The business process configuration for
    Disciplinary Actions
     and
    Performance Improvement Plans
     overrides what employees can view on a template. If any review business process substeps involve the employee (Examples:
    Set Content, Complete Self Evaluation
    ), Workday displays the review to employees even if the template has hidden sections.
